The Broom in the System was Wallace's senior honors thesis at Amherst, where he was as I joined the faculty. Never met him, some of the faculty I care about the most mentored him, and he was someone I always watched. It breaks my heart he gave up life. As one who has been through a bit of heartbreak (I actually have new book on this and people can look it up from my name if interested) it just seems wrong that he gave up. I am, without knowing him, as angry as one of his intimates might be for his having given up, even as I know, and as I know so many of us know, why he did. Peace to the man.
